A middle-aged, burned out college administrator takes a leap of faith into the writing life and lands on a tiny island on Maine's rocky coast. The challenges of living alone on that edge of the wilderness reveal themselves daily. Osprey, herons, eagles and ducks rule the water, while tides and weather rule the author's life. The story of her deeply personal transformation that unfolds during two years of solitude is told with both wonder and sorrow, humor and grit. If you have ever dreamed about having a solitude – a prolonged solitude far away from all that is familiar – this book will have you both grinning at the joys and awestruck by the realities of utter isolation. If you are an aspiring writer, Flying One Writer’s Journey Into Solitude, is an informative and comforting companion.
